Disability fashion: Winter Fab [VD Available]

Sorry if this is a little dark for those without light sensitivity, I screen-shotted it while using one of my migraine mods. Because I can't be bothered to make an actual polyvore account hehe.

Ah winter has finally arrived on my desert door step. I actually had quite an interesting conversation just the other day with my sister talking about how Not winter weather it is, because we both went out wearing summer clothes just 4 days ago... I wore high-waisted shorts (I have an addiction to tumblr fashion) & she wore a summer dress I'd got her last year while a local store had this ridiculous sale because It was closing down that location.  I told her

"This isn't even winter, and I doubt it's going to get any colder, unless one of those Vegas weather things happen" 

& It did literally the next day! I had to find my nice thick ugly sweater and pair it with some fleece leggings, which are basically winter leggings ( I will avoid denim at all costs unless they are high-waisted shorts )..... Us desert dwellers are just simply not accustomed to cold weather, I'm sure those farther up the northern hemisphere or closer to the ocean would laugh at us curling up into balls for warmth at 50F.  But that's just how we do it here.  I for one am just happy it's cold instead of hot, I'm sure if you have fibro it's probably hell right now. But for a chronic mav girl high heat is the bane of my existence. 

In this collage I put both a cane & wheelchair in it, while I usually do them separately, I felt like posting them together was a good idea because some people believe that the only use of a wheelchair is paraplegia but the truth is that some people have wheelchairs because their ability to walk is tentative, or because something else in their body is preventing them from walking 

Ex: Fall prevention, Compromised Balance, Compromised joints, High Fatigue, Inability to walk long distances.

Just to name a couple.

& the fact they get harassed about taking care of themselves and being responsible by getting a wheelchair while being non-paraplegic is ridiculous.  

In the near future I will be making edits that include different mobility devices that I am not familiar with like walkers, underarm/forearm crutches, and anything else I can find! (:
